1909-P v.d.b 12 bucks?

When I was at a gun store this dealer had a 1909-P v.d.b for $14 I tried to buy it but realized it was his son's coin, I paid him 12 and I thought it was a good buy in AU condition what do you think I'll enjoy your opinion.

12 bucks seems about right. I'd put it at AU53 RB.

 

Thanks that will help alot!

 

RB? I don't see much other than brown...

Still a nice buy at that price though.

 

Looks like the picture got switched since I last looked at it. The one I see now looks more like XF.

 

AU nice wholesome coin. Great for a type set. Reasonable price.

 

So you paid less for it because it belonged to a kid?

 

jwitten I am a kid, and when I talked to the dad he said to talk to his son so I talked and he said he would barter so I did, I see your confusion. Also I did switch the picture Paul M. because this one showed the tone better, but same coin.

XF something. Nice coin.

 

Ahh, makes sense. I thought it was priced at a certain price, and once you found out it belonged to a kid you offered less.

 

No problem I understand.

 

Strong V, D and B on there. Sometimes those tiny areas fill with grease. $14-$12=$2. That's nothing to get excited about. Either way, it's a fair price, for an easy low to mid AU.

 

yeah, its COOL and will go up.... like any coin.

 

Oh yeah, every coin goes up.

 

Without a doubt

 

Only when you flip them...

 

XF coin and the price in that range is about as flat as they come. G = $11. AU = $15 on my greysheet.

 

Nice one! You did good, my dealer has some for that price.

Here's one I got today for $13, could be dipped at one point according to some of the members on here and I would not be surprised if it was.
